Recommended Brewing Method: GaiWan / YiXing Teapot

Instructions: Rinse the tea with
a little hot water and then discard it. Next refill the tea pot and
follow the infusion times below. For a 120ml Gai Wan you can either keep
back 1-2g or add all the leaf. If you add all the leaf, you may want to
revise the brewing times slightly (downward) to allow for the fuller
flavour. Please note using a Zi Sha teapot times should be revised
downward to allow for time for the liquor to pour from the tea pot.

Tea taste: Extremely smooth, with perfectly balanced astringency and sweetness. Distinct and complex layers of flavour that blend naturally with one another, with a finish that leaves you refreshed and uplifted.
